Z39.50 Interoperability Profile

A number of earlier documents have influenced the development of ideas associated with this Profile. These documents include the Texas Libraries Profile, upon which evolution of the Interoperability Profile has been closely based, earlier national and regional profiling efforts, and a number of documents specifically commissioned as a result of earlier teleconferences.

A list of Key documents is included, below. Other related documents, such as the earlier Profiles, are also available.

A draft of the Bath Profile is now available for comment.
